What it takes to date the First Daughter.

By Steve Head

Pennsylvania native Marc Blucas (The Alamo, View from the Top) appears this Friday with Katie Homes in First Daughter. Blucas plays college student James Lansome, the guy that Samantha Mackenzie (Holmes) has her eye on. It just kind of complicates things that Sam also happens to be the daughter of the President of the United States.

In this interview from the set of the movie, Blucas talks about the first time his character meets Sam, why Sam falls for James, working with Katie Holmes, and filming the movie's ballroom scenes.

"We had to give her a reason to fall for me," says Blucas. "And there are certain times where a I'm throwing a sweatshirt at her and I'm callin' her by her last name. She's never been treated like this in her life and I think that it takes her character by surprise."
